| Picture a place where children’s
faces light up the second they enter, where “oohs”
and “ahhs” are commonplace and where exciting, interactive
learning is a cornerstone. Imagine such a place right here in
Anchorage. Imagine the Imaginarium!
The Imaginarium, Alaska's only hands-on Science
Discovery Center, is designed as a place where people can
have fun learning about science by actually doing science.
Located in downtown Anchorage, The Imaginarium resembles a
living laboratory where you can stand inside a bubble, ponder
the magnitude of the universe in a planetarium, discover ocean
life in a marine touch tank, observe and touch exotic reptiles,
or learn the principles of physics while playing with specialized
toys.
Whatever the project or activity, you can
be sure that it is designed to change children's attitudes
about science by letting them ask the questions and look for
their own answers. When it comes to creative, hands-on exhibits,
demonstrations and curricula, The Imaginarium wins hands down!!
